The efficacy of bariatric surgery on pulmonary function and sleep architecture of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and comorbid obesity: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of bariatric surgery on changes in pulmonary function and sleep architecture. Studies of patients with OSA that underwent bariatric surgery were searched in four different databases (PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Embase) until October 31st, 2022. We identified studies evaluating the efficacy of surgical intervention on primary outcomes (BMI and AHI) and secondary outcomes such as FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, ODI, T90, meanSpO2, nadirSpO2, sleep efficiency (SE), N1%, N2%, N3%, REM%, arousal index, ESS, neck circumference, waist circumference, and weight.

Comment on: Infrequent but serious? Thiamine deficiency among adolescents and young adults after bariatric surgery
There are few extant studies of thiamine deficiency in adolescents after weight loss surgery. The article by Ibrahim et  al. [1] is a series of 30 adolescent and young adult post–bariatric surgery patients with symptoms or signs of beriberi derived from their own tertiary (n = 7) and other bariatric surgery units (n = 23). Due to the global expansion of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) for patients with morbi d obesity, this is a timely and instructive study. It has relevance for bariatric surgeons, physicians, and dieticians but also neurologists, gastroenterologists, and accident, emergency, and primary care phys...

The role of Bariatric Surgery on Beta-Cell Function and Insulin Resistance in patients with Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and steatohepatitis (NASH)
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and steatohepatitis (NASH) are strongly associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance (IR). Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of metabolic surgery on pancreatic beta cell function and IR in patients with obesity and NAFLD.

Hypoalbuminemia and increased surgical risk: some new thoughts
Since 2015, three large studies focusing on patients with severe obesity and those undergoing bariatric surgery procedures have added to the expanding list of studies extending over the past 40 years, demonstrating that hypoalbuminemia is a strong predictor of surgical morbidity and mortality.1-3 The discussions in these studies as well as the editorial comments4 reflect the teachings derived from the early studies demonstrating the common presence of protein-calorie malnutrition with associated immune alterations among hospitalized patients5,6 and techniques for nutritional assessment.

Comment on: Attitudes of primary care physicians towards bariatric surgery: a free word association networks analysis
Daniel Gero et  al. used a free-word association network analysis to explore primary care providers’ (PCPs) mental representation of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) in one region of Switzerland in order to identify barriers and catalysts of MBS referral practices [1]. PCPs were asked to write the first 5 words that came to their minds about the term “bariatric surgery” and were asked to pick 2 emotions from a list of 19 basic emotions (restless, nervous, irritable, upset, scared, guilty, hostile, distressed, ashamed, alert, worrying, excited, strong, proud, inspired, enthusiastic, active, determ ined, interest...
